SOTA processors also bang for the buck

The boutique audio manufacturers certainly from all accounts make excellent processors. One can't help getting the impression that the giant electronic companies due to sheer economies of scale are able to package outstanding technologies at a significantly lower price eg Denon and Onkyo(Integra) to mention a couple.
Is there a OPPO BDP-95 equivalent out there in processors (amplification is optional).
Thanks

Hi Marty,

You purchased a PR SC5509 in the US?

Last time I spoke with the US distributor, they had no idea about the 5509.

Hi Kal,

If memory serves me correctly and it sometimes "doesn't" I think there are three basic differences:

1) As you stated warrantee length
2) Equalizer band (Onkyo has fewer bands)
3) One of the Stereo/Direct or Pure 2 channel Audio functions is supposed to be different.

I don't think the equalizer bands affect the Audysee 32XT capability so that seems like a mute point for the most part.

And then of course the cosmetics.

I'm too busy to check each manual or spec sheet, but it seem to me those are it.
More to discover
